    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the virtual experience?

    • The virtual experience was collectively exhaustive with many facets of IBD and equity markets covered by a wide range of panelists.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • The entry question already made me feel like a valued individual, even if it was before selection to be part of the event. Their thoughtfulness in developing a question that will not result in standardised, monotonous answers reflected their dedication to ensuring the uniqueness of each candidate is recognised.

    4/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the virtual experience?

    • Guidance through each session was sufficient with enough panelist’s providing varied views on the topics discussed. Great insights provided with a few case study mentions.

    3/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The information received will definitely play a part in my career path as I seek to explore potential opportunities before cementing my place in any role.

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the virtual experience?

    • Overall structure was good but with the breakout rooms not working, there was a slight lack of a personal touch. Perhaps a smaller cohort would be better next time around.

    3/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your virtual experience?

    • Good atmosphere with very keen candidates taking part and equally keen panelist’s answers all our questions.

    3/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Not entirely relevant for this event beyond the panelist’s they sourced and presented to us for the session. Otherwise with the event being virtual, not a lot personal training was conducted.

    2/5
  • 8. To what extent did the virtual experience help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • The range of panelist’s were of different divisions and their passion for their role was clearly conveyed through their presentations and their answers. They truly embodied the culture of the firm and gave a good reflection of what the dynamics would be like when working at Jefferies.
